So who would they be calling since they have your phone? A friend?

LOL. I actually have a couple of numbers. Separate Thai cell phone, land line phone, email.

The one time it could of come in handy, it didn't. 555 I was riding a bicycle on Bang Kachao (called the "green lung" of BKK. cool place but that is another story. https://www.thethailandlife.com/bang-krachao )

and did not know I dropped my phone. Of course I did not have my other phone. I rode my bicycle back on the route I had just taken and found the people who had found the phone. They actually had tried calling the other numbers, so maybe I would have eventually gotten it back.

Mine is actually my "business card" with a caption that if the phone is found, please call or text XXX number. Actually pretty boring.

My lock screen wall paper also has a phone number and an email address that whoever finds my phone can contact.

Here's another question, do you lock your phone? Do you have a case?

Apparently I am a psycho as mine is unlocked (it locks after 8 hours, I think?) and no case. It's an iPhone 12, so I've had it like that for a good 4+ years.

I have to lock mine as work pays for it and it's required. I have a case - Otterbox heavy duty thing.

[jon-nyc]

Locked in 1m, case

I guess mine doesn't lock automatically. I have an inobtrusive plastic case, which has done the job of preventing screen damage in my many, many drops.

[Axtremus]

Auto lock with case.
I also have the habit of manually pushing the power button whenever I put the phone down. So in practice, my phone locks most of the time because I manually pushed the power button.

Mine locks after a certain period of time (not sure what the time length is). Also has a case. Feels too skinny with out one.

Screenlock is of wife when fiancé in 1990

I started using leather wallet cases about five years ago, which protect better and hold credit cards.
Autolock in 1 minute; like Ax I switch off power myself.

I got a Samsung galaxy 10note+ and use the note function almost daily.

[jon-nyc]

Doesn’t the leather wallet case mean you can’t charge with MagSafe?

[AndyD]

Don't know

I started using leather wallet cases about five years ago, which protect better and hold credit cards.

I always thought smart phones in close contact with credit cards would neutralize/demagnetize the cards. Has the technology changed so that doesn’t occur any longer?

[Axtremus]

Increasingly, credit cards use microchips rather than magnetic strips to communicate to the card readers. Demagnetization is not much of a concern for credit cards if you don’t use the magnetic strips anymore.

[AndyD]

My cards are not affected.

Those charging pads work but are slow compared to a dedicated plug in wire, or usb wire-in which we have on our sockets (my wife informs me)
